Heartbeat TV series, Aidensfield (Goathland) North Yorkshire Moors, Dr.Ferrenby's house is Glendale House bed and breakfast Click to see Heartbeat video (Part One) Click to see Heartbeat video (Part Two) Goathland station was the setting for Hogsmead station in the first Harry Potter movie, but the village is better known as Aidensfield , in the Yorkshire TV series, Heartbeat. On 26th November,1991, Heartbeat began filming in Goathland, and became a TV success, since it first appeared on our screens on the 10th April 1992, with "Changing Places" - the first of a trial series of 10 episodes. The Heartbeat TV series drew a regular audience of around 14 million viewers each week and had a fixed family slot each Sunday evening in the UK, and has won several TV awards . Heartbeat is not just popular here in the UK, but it also has a huge following in many other countries such as Australia, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, China, Cyprus, Greece, and most of Europe.

It is shown in Kenya, India, Hong Kong, Israel, South Africa, the Caribbean ..... the list goes on. It has recently become very popular in Iran, where the muslim leaders have praised it as "true family entertainment!". It is even shown on the small Pacific Island of Vanuatu. In the whole of Heartbeat's 17 years, there have only been a few buildings in the village that have been used as "regulars". They are the Post office, Aidensfield Stores, the Goathland Hotel (Aidensfield Arms), Mostyn's Garage, (now Scripps), Greengrass's farm, and Glendale House (Dr.Ferrenby's surgery). The Final episode "Sweet Sorrow" was shown on 12th September, 2010. That episode was number 373. For the entire 17 years, Heartbeat was in ITV's top 5 performing shows. In the first three series, Glendale House featured as Dr. Ferenby's surgery, where Dr.Kate Rowan, (Niamh Cussack) wife of PC Nick Rowan, (Nick Berry) worked until Dr.Ferrenby drowned on a fishing trip.

Kate Rowan herself, sadly, died of leukaemia in the 5th series. Bill Maynard, who played the part of Claude Greengrass, unfortunately suffered a real life heart attack, and had to leave the programme. He has since appeared in a spin off series, called "The Royal" - a 60s hospital drama set in Scarborough, but using some of the Heartbeat actors, and a lot of the scenery from around Goathland. The first three blocks of photographs on this page are from the first three series of Heartbeat, starting in April 1992, when Glendale House featured as Doctor Ferrenby's house. Glendale House can be seen in most of the photos. A lot of them are scanned from old 35mm photos, and home video, but all the photos from page 2 onwards are digital - and better quality.

Written by Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com> 10 April 1992 (UK) See more » Also Known As: Did You Know? Trivia The reason none of Nicholas Rhea 's original stories were adapted for this series was because some of the real Greengrass's activities were rather bizarre, and because one of his reminiscences was a near duplication of a James Herriot story (the one about the dog who was put to sleep because he was thought to have been attacking sheep, only to be proven innocent after the fact when the real culprit was shot to death somewhat later, after he had died).

See more » Connections (Wellington) – See all my reviews This TV series manages to combine all the elements that make for a pleasant and at times absorbing hour in front of the TV - good varied characters, a range of occupations, although of course the policemen dominate, creative and simultaneously plausible story lines - usually one serious criminal occurrence and one lighthearted theme per episode and all of it set in rural English village landscape (Yorkshire) which looks very nice and a contrast from urban Britain which I find mostly quite dreary and depressing. The 1960s seem a long time ago now, before Britain joined the EEC, when it still used non-decimal currency and imperial measurements, when it was still largely "monocultural", and when there were still steam trains. There are also those dinky British 60s cars, motorbikes and trucks that everyone gets around in, miniskirts and pop hits of the time on the soundtrack. What more could you ask for? Another commentator says it screens in the UK on Sunday nights - here it has always screened early on Saturday afternoons which isn't exactly prime time, a pity. 17 of 18 people found this review helpful.

Was this review helpful to you? Yes Heartbeat - Show News, Reviews, Recaps and Photos - TV.com EDIT Heartbeat is set in the 1960s, in the fictional Yorkshire town of Aidensfield. The first seasons focus on the lives of London policeman Nick Rowan, who moves to the village with his doctor wife Kate. Nick's police colleagues feature in the series, under the leadership of the crusty but kindhearted Sergeant Blaketon. Blaketon's nemesis is Claude Jeremiah Greengrass, poacher and occasional small-time fence. Greengrass is a regular patron of the Aidensfield Arms hotel, run by George Ward and his pretty niece Gina. It's here at the pub that we see much of the day-to-day social interaction in the series. Heartbeat is based on the Constable books by Nicholas Rhea. There have been a load of Heartbeat coppers over the years.

They are listed below: Sgt Oscar Blaketon PC Alf Ventress PC Phil Bellamy PC/Sgt Nick Rowan PC/DC Mike Bradley Sgt Raymond Craddock PC Tom Nicholson Sgt Dennis Merton PC Steve Crane Sgt George Miller PC Rob Walker PC Geoff Younger The musical theme, originally performed by Buddy Holly, is performed here by original show star Nick Berry.moreless Heartbeat - the TV series Heartbeat - the TV series ? Heartbeat is a long-running and highly popular TV series produced originally by Yorkshire Television, and subsequently by ITV, in the UK: since its first screening on Friday 10th April 1992, the show ran to over 350 hour-long episodes, in 18 series, of which the last was broadcast on Sunday 12th September 2010. According to the cutting from from Woman magazine, sent to Nicholas Rhea by a fan, Heartbeat placed it in the top ten most watched programmes of the decade. And it all began with Nicholas Rhea's books. Heartbeat Constable novels by Nicholas Rhea.

The stories feature an English policeman in a rural village in North Yorkshire during the 1960's, although cast changes and story developments have resulted in group of village characters sharing the attention with the local village bobby. The Heartbeat title refers to an English bobby 'on the beat', the medical stories that are woven into each episode, and the way each programme puts a finger on the pulse of the rural community of Aidensfield. Heartbeat The last episode of Heartbeat was broadcast Sunday 12 September 2010, but despite the passage of time the much-loved series is not forgotten - in the UK and around the world. In the summer of 2016 it appeared in a new form - for the first time ever, Heartbeat came to the stage, starring members of the TV cast. With use of video footage and a clever set, this touring production recreated the atmosphere of the 1960s rural Yorkshire settings. David Stockwell, Gina Ward, PC Geoff Younger and a number of other of the most popular characters starred in the two-hour live stage production with a brand-new script. The show toured the UK between April and July 2016: see the archived schedule here .

Heartbeat Although there have been no new episode of Heartbeat since September 2010, the show is still much loved, in the UK and around the world - and of course that includes Yorkshire! In April 2014, Nicholas Rhea was delighted to find Heartbeat magazine. It came in at no. 65, a few positions above rhubarb! Top of the poll was, of course, Yorkshire pudding. Heartbeat Special Another book from Nicholas Rhea is something rather different: a lavishly illustrated book about the making of Heartbeat . It includes input from the makers and stars of the show, as well as the author's own unique inside information. It is published by Mortons of Horncastle , and can be ordered from them via its own dedicated web site , now only available in a digital edition, where you can also see some of its many pictures, and read extracts from the text. Heartbeat For a long time, although we received many enquiries about whether Heartbeat is available on DVD, Nicholas Rhea could only point out that this up to ITV, not him! (He explains that among the things which make Heartbeat so special are the use of original sixties records, and the frequent appearances of guest stars.

Both of these factors would involve ITV in obtaining clearances before they could authorise DVDs of the series - something that could not have been foreseen when the original contracts were drawn up, long before DVDs were invented.) But in September 2010, Network DVD released a boxed set of three DVDs, containing the whole first series - ten episodes of classic Heartbeat . This first series sees Nick and his doctor wife Kate (Niamh Cusack) settling in Aidensfield, having left the bustle of London behind. As villagers' initial suspicion gives way to acceptance, the couple become increasingly involved, both professionally and personally, in the daily life of the rural community. Bill Maynard also stars as the irrepressible Claude Jeremiah Greengrass, with guest appearances from, among others, Philip Glenister, Annette Crosbie, Eleanor Bron, John Duttine and Elizabeth Spriggs. Once the ice was broken, the party just went on. Sixteen series are now available on DVD, not to mention two series of related hospital drama, The Royal . Caution: the disks are in Region 2 / PAL format; this means that it may not be compatible with DVD players outside Europe.

We know that there are Heartbeat fans all over the world, and hope that this first release will be followed by other formats. There is now another way to enjoy the Heartbeat experience on DVD: Heartbeat: A nostalgic return to Aidensfield is a rare opportunity for all fans, to join Derek Fowlds ( Oscar Blaketon ) in a nostalgic and personal journey back to the village of Aidensfield. Watch him catch up with old friends and revisit film locations used in the series. This is an independent, limited edition production, but is available for order from Amazon . Caution: the disks are in Region 2 / PAL format; this means that it may not be compatible with DVD players outside Europe. We know that there are Heartbeat fans all over the world, and hope that this first release will be followed by other formats. Heartbeat It was very sad to witness the last-ever episode of Heartbeat and I did feel sorrowful when I recalled the dedication and hard work of the writers, cast and crew some of whom had been with the programme from its very beginning. Without them, there would have been no Heartbeat . It is difficult for me, sitting in my study at home, to appreciate just how wide the appeal of Heartbeat?

has been. Only this morning in my daily paper, there is a letter from a viewer in Australia, echoing his sadness at its demise. And in the past couple of weeks, I've had more messages from Canada, Australia, Tasmania, Belgium, Finland, Denmark and Norway, not forgetting, of course, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England. Truly the programme had world-wide appeal. But all good things must come to an end. Heartbeat? has successfully concluded its long run of 18 years, and it was inevitable that it must end at some point. I thank everyone who was involved in its production and all who have supported the series, some being keen viewers from Day 1. There will be many repeats, of course, and a DVD is now available and so for some time to come we can continue to indulge in its charm, nostalgia, wonderful characters and spectacular countryside. Thank you to everyone from Nicholas Rhea Rhoda Walker (Mrs Nicholas Rhea) was present when the last episode was filmed, and sent us this description: As the partner of Nicholas Rhea, I get invited to certain events and last Friday I went with him to a Heartbeat party in Leeds.

It was a glittering occasion held in the stunning Corn Exchange building, with over 200 people; Heartbeat actors, scriptwriters, lighting technicians, make-up girls - in fact all the numerous people who have been involved in the making of Heartbeat for the past 17 years. This event was billed as a 'Farewell Party' and I thought it might be a sombre occasion but, on the contrary, everyone looked relaxed and happy in their party frocks and dinner jackets. We were all there to celebrate Heartbeat , say goodbye to friends and colleagues and talk about hopes for the future. I'm sure we'll soon be seeing many of the actors in new roles. I chatted to Steven Blakely (we are pictured together, above), who joined Heartbeat straight from drama school to play the loveable rookie constable, Geoff Younger. He said how much he'd enjoyed working on the series and later this year expects to be touring Europe with a theatre group putting on Shakespeare plays. Rupert Ward-Lewis (Don Wetherby) is going back to London and William Simons (Alf Ventress) has already moved back there.

Some of the production staff are going to work on Emmerdale and others are taking time out for a while. But everyone I spoke to said they were very sad to be leaving and would miss Aidensfield and the North Yorkshire moors. We watched some nostalgic clips from the series and there were a few misty eyes when the scene came up where a bereft Nick Rowan stood in the moonlight at the door of the police house on the night Kate died (sniff, sniff). Finally, Keith Richardson, head of YTV drama, made a speech, thanking everyone and saying that the Heartbeat team had been like a big extended family. Nicholas Rhea adds: For me, personally, it has been a delight to have my stories and characters portrayed in such a successful television series and I have been involved right from the start.

Gift vouchers "Excellent hotel" Really enjoyed this hotel. We had a large suite overlooking the moors facing west and were very comfortable. Service and staff were very accommodating and the food at dinner and breakfast were more than satisfactory. Strongly recommended. "Lovely stay" Just had three nights stay in August. Great location had a sea view paid a little extra. Well worth it.

Beautifully clean,very comfy bed. Super breakfasts with plenty of variety served by very welcoming staff. Had dinner on our first night, great food superbly cooked and again very amiable staff. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Free car parking which is a bonus as area gets very busy. Will return. "Dog friendly AND a great view!" We visited 3 times during our long weekend staying at Robin Hoods Bay. Best views over the bay and plenty of tables outside of the sun is shining! Dogs welcome inside and out, just not in the most fancy bit!! Decent food at good prices- worth a visit. "Absolutely wonderful in every way!" This hotel is based at the top of the hill down to the beach, so fabulous locality. The food was absolutely second to none and they were more than willing to serve food which wasn't on the menu (for our awkward child). The room (room 4, family room) was very clean and very spacious. Our bathroom was beautiful and done to a high standard. But most of all, the staff were so friendly and helpful which absolutely made it for us. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back.

"Fabulous Hotel" The hotel is ideally situated at the top of the cliff and has a lovely beer garden to cool off in with a drink and catch your breath after the climb back up the hill from the beach. Our room was a good size and clean and the best bit was the huge bathroom with separate shower and Cadburys advert bath. Lovely breakfast to set you up for the day and the bonus is having its own car park in an area where parking spaces are limited and in high demand. The staff were friendly and approachable too. Difficult to find a fault" Visited for the third time-professional but genuine welcome from staff who appeared to be happy in their work-all food of good quality from breakfast to dinner-restaurant capably supervised by Susie at breakfast and Michael at dinner-had room on second floor with views inland-could not find any fault. This hotel is absolutely fantastic. Besides the fact that the rooms are amazing, the restaurant is fantastic, the coffee shop is great and the bar is fab. The staff are some of the most helpful and pleasant we have ever met. Spent my 50th Birthday here and it was absolutely lovely. Cannot speak highly enough of this hotel.

The staff are very friendly and professional, food is excellent and nothing was too much trouble. To top it off there is a beautiful view of Robin Hoods Bay, who could ask for more! Aidensfield, The Cast of Heartbeat 2010 AIDENSFIELD In 1992, Yorkshire Television started filming the pilot series of a new TV drama, based on Nicholas Rhea's books about a young London policeman in the 1960's, who leaves the rat race, to become a local village bobby on the North Yorkshire Moors. In the books (and the Heartbeat TV series) the village is called Aidensfield , but in real life it is Goathland, a tiny moorland village between Whitby and Pickering. The first series, was only 6 episodes, and was done as a "trial". The programme was such a success, that it quickly became the UK's no 1 drama series, and still attracts TV audiences all over the world.

Heartbeat started as a trial in 1992, but went on for another 17 years, until the last episode "Sweet Sorrow" (episode 373) was shown in September 2010. More photographs here!

Enter main site here Heartbeat Characters Heartbeat Characters Heartbeat is Yorkshire Television's long running series, set in the 60s about the village of Aidensfield in the Yorkshire Moors. Over the time it has been running some faces have come and gone, but some regulars such as Phil Bellamy, Oscar Blaketon, and Alf Ventress have stayed the course. These will be familiar to those of you watching the last series. Some new faces include Rosie Cartwright played by Venessa Hehir and Dr Helen Walker (formerly Trent) played by Sophie Ward. Policemen and ex coppers Phil Bellamy (Mark Jordan) Mark Jordan, who plays Phil Bellamy, has been in Heartbeat from the beginning. He has played several policeman in the past including PC Betts in Coronation Street and PC Hicks in All Creatures Great and Small.

He nearly joined the police force himself, but admits to failing the exam on purpose - he only applied to please his mum! Phil Bellamy is always good for a laugh, but will never make anything other than a constable. In Heartbeat he has been unlucky in love. He nearly married Gina Ward (Tricia Penrose) and when he finally did tie the knot, it turned out his wife, Debbie, was already married to someone who was supposed to be dead. Oscar Blaketon (Derek Fowlds) Oscar Blacketon was originally the Sergeant at the Police Station in Ashfordly. He was known as a stickler for the rules. His old sparing partner in those days was Claude Greengrass (Bill Maynard). Oscar later retired and bought the Post-Office. After a few years some financial good fortune allowed him to buy the pub, the Aidensfield Arms, which he now runs with Gina Ward (Trisha Penrose). Derek Fowlds has had many acting roles including playing Bernard in "Yes, Minister". Those of you with long memories may recall his appearances with Basil Brush in the 70s.

Alf Ventress (William Simons) Another old hand, Alf Ventress, has been in the series since the beginning. He served under Oscar Blaketon as a constable. Now retired, he works as a civilian in the Police Station and occasionally does a bit of private detective work with Oscar. William Simons, who plays Alf Ventress, has played several policemen in his time, including roles in Bergerac and Inspector Alleyn. Rob Walker (Jonathan Kerrigan) Rob Walker (left) is the Aidensfield village bobby. He is the most serious copper of the three constables. Keen for promotion, he often makes Sgt Miller look slow. Jonathan Kerrigan was formerly gay nurse, Sam Colloby, in Casualty. He has played a policeman before as he was PC Steve Traynor in Merseybeat. He has also starred in Reach for the Moon, which was filmed on the Isle of Wight, as well as Catherine Cookson's A Dinner of Herbs and the customs' drama, The Knock. George Miller (John Duttine) John Duttine (right) who plays Sergeant Miller was a school teacher in To Serve Them All My Days.

In Heartbeat he is just as strict with the PCs Bellamy, Walker and Younger. Geoff Younger (Steven Blakely) PC Younger is the youngest of the bunch. As the junior he gets all the worst jobs around the station. Other Characters Dr Helen Walker (formerly Trent) (Sophie Ward) It seems that Helen Trent has become the latest doctor to fall victim to the "Aidensfield Curse". The next one will be asking for danger money! Helen had a romantic encounter with Rob Walker. She finally married him in the last series, but don't expect to see her in the next! Sophie is the daughter of the actor, Simon Ward, who actually appeared as her estranged father in the last series. For more on Sophie Ward see , the official Sophie Ward website. Bernie Scripps (Peter Benson) The long-suffering Bernie Scripps is played by Peter Benson. He is another Heartbeat regular and he runs the Aidensfield Garage and the funeral service. He has often been unwillingly co-opted to help first Claude Greengrass (Bill Maynard), then half brother Vernon Scripps (Geoffrey Hughes) and finally Peggy Armstrong (Gwen Taylor) with disastrous money-making schemes.

Peter Benson has played undertakers before and admits he has the face for it! You might remember him in Loot, The Enigma Files and Oliver. Rosie Cartwright (Vanessa Hehir) Rosie Cartwright helps Bernie out at Aidensfield Garage. Vanessa Hehir also played Nicola Jay in BBC3's Grease Monkeys. Nicola Jay also worked in a garage, but not as a mechanic. David Stockwell (David Lonsdale) David Stockwell (left) is good natured, but naive and often gullible. He helps out Bernie and often also gets involved in the hair-brained schemes of his Aunt, Peggy Armstrong. He has a good heart, but usually gets the wrong end of the stick. David Lonsdale, who plays David Stockwell, played Peter Barlow, Ken Barlow's son in Coronation Street. He also appeared as a repossession man in The Full Monty and at the age of 14 had a part in Brideshead Revisited. When David turned up for the first episode, fellow cast members asked him if he was playing the idiot!

Peggy Armstrong (Gwen Taylor) Peggy, who is David Stockwell's Aunt, turned up when Vernon Scripps staged a Reggie Perrin style disappearing act. She is the new lovable rogue in the vein of Claude Greengrass. You might remember Gwen Taylor as Amy Pearce in Duty Free, and as Barbara Liversidge in Barbara. She is no stranger to police dramas having been in episodes of The Sweeney and Z Cars. Gina Ward (Tricia Penrose) Gina helps run the Aidensfield Arms with Oscar Blaketon. She has been in Heartbeat for some time now. Still unmarried, she nearly got hitched to Phil Bellamy, but decided against it at the last minute. She certainly looks the part in the series wearing the latest 60s fashions including mini skirts and some rather individual earrings. Some faces from the past...

During this time they filmed 18 series and 372 episodes. Goathland made an ideal location for Yorkshire Television to film in. It was not too far a drive from Leeds and their base. Our village is an ideal traditional moorland village with little to indicate the era, so few changes or cover ups were needed for the village to pass as the 1960's. This location benefits from a pub with traditional bar, a couple of hotels, garage, a few shops, village houses, farms, moors and steam railway, you could not ask for more variety from one small village. Props in view were changed in accordance with the 1960's era. Police would hold traffic for every take at each location but otherwise everything carried on as normal.

The variety of customers here has increased, including more day trippers and international visitors. Heartbeat has shown Goathland in it true form, a village in picturesque moors. Many first come because of Heartbeat and return for Goathland. Filming took place inside the bar for the first four years. They then built an exact replica set of the bar interior and all major locations in a studio, due to the programmes success. This was easier and more convenient for filming. They still used the pub for all exterior shots, in and out of doors, looking out of windows and the car park.
